Chapter 1131 Disappeared Workmen
Luo Qingyan was about to say something, but he heard a noise from outside.
"Your majesty, Lord Liu is back."
Yun Shang stood up and walked out of the inner hall. She saw Liu Wenan standing in the hall, and Luo
Yi following Liu Wenan, lowering his head slightly.
"How is it going?" Yun Shang asked anxiously.
"It worked." Liu Wenan replied, "The officials heard his majesty's voice and looked surprised. But they
didn't show it too obviously. They just reported the matter and left. I asked someone to follow them.
After they left the Tai Chi hall, they all left the palace without lingering. "
Yun Shang nodded and loosened her grip on the embroidered handkerchief. "That's good, that's good."
Then she asked, "The officials said that they would report to his majesty something important about the
State of Xia. What is it?"
Liu Wenan pursed his lips and said, "I think it's mostly likely just an excuse they found to see his
majesty. All the reports from them are all ordinary things, except the report from the Vice Minister of
Works is a little more important. "
"The Vice Minister of the Works said that he had found some strange things recently. Many workmen in
the Ministry of Works had said that they had something to do and left the Jin City. He sent people to
keep an eye on those workmen. They seemed to have gone to Liucang City, Siyang, and Nanyang. He
felt that it was quite strange, so he came to report it. "
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and thought for a while. "Send someone to ask the Vice Minister of
Works to come back again, and then let Luo Yi continue to imitate his majesty's voice behind the
screen. Ask the Vice Minister of Works when this has happened, and what those workmen who left Jin
City are good at. You'd better ask him to give you a list..."
Seeing Yun Shang's reaction, Liu Wenan understood the importance of the matter. He nodded in a
hurry and left with Luo Yi again.
Yun Shang pursed her lips and looked at the backs of the two. She frowned and stood in the hall for a
moment before turning back to the inner hall.
As soon as they entered the inner hall, Yun Shang saw Luo Qingyan frown and look serious.
"Your majesty must have heard what Lord Liu said just now. How do your majesty think?"
Luo Qingyan tapped on the armrest of the chair with his finger and said, "Liu Wenan said that those
officials left the Taiji Palace after giving their report. Liu Wenan sent someone to follow them to confirm
that they had left the Imperial Palace, then he came to report?"
Yun Shang nodded. Seeing Luo Qingyan's face darken, she thought for a moment and asked softly,
"Your majesty, do you think there is anything wrong with it?"
"Of course." Luo Qingyan's face turned cold. "We guessed that the poisoner must be among the NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
officials who tried every means to see me outside the Taiji Palace. Even he himself was not, there must
be some of his accomplices among them."
"If the Vice Minister of Works is not their accomplice while the poisoner is Xia Houjing's man, then what
the Vice Minister of Works reported today will irritate Xia Houjing's men. "
Yun Shang came to her senses and asked, "Your majesty, are you worried that the Vice Minister of
Works will be in danger?"
Yun Shang said in a hurry, "Should we send our secret guards to protect the Vice Minister of Works?"
"I've sent someone." Luo Qingyan pursed her lips and said, "It's easy to deal with if those courtiers
haven't left the imperial palace. But it's been a long time since they left. I don't know if the secret
guards can make it."
Yun Shang's heart sank. She couldn't help but frown more tightly. "Liu Wenan..."
Of course, Luo Qingyan understood what she was talking about. After a moment's silence, he said, "I
still believe Liu Wenan. He had always been a thoughtful man. Today he didn't come to report until he
sent people to follow those officials and see them leave the imperial palace. Perhaps he was just
worried that those courtiers would notice that something was wrong and make trouble again. Maybe he
didn't expect that his meticulousness might cause something bad. "
Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang nodded and said nothing more.
There was a moment of silence in the hall. After a long time, there was another sound outside. Yun
Shang stood up and saw from the window that Liu Wenan and Luo Yi had come back.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on Liu Wenan. Seeing his serious face, Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat.
As expected, as soon as she walked out of the inner hall, Yun Shang heard Liu Wenan reporting in a
low voice, "Your majesty, something happened. The Vice Minister of Works ran into an assassin on his
way back home and he has been... killed. "
Yun Shang tugged at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. After a long time, she said, "I know."
After a pause, he continued, "Only the Vice Minister of Works has been killed? What about other
officials? "
"I've inquired about it too. After the Vice Minister of Works left the palace, the other officials invited him
to the opera garden. The Vice Minister of Works said that he had something to deal with at home, so
he didn't go with them, and separated from the others. The other officials are fine. Only the Vice
Minister of Works has been killed. "
Yun Shang closed her eyes for a while and nodded, "Okay, I know. Ask someone to send something to
the family of the Vice Minister of Works to comfort them. Ask the Ministry of Justice to go to the place
where the Vice Minister of Works was been murdered and see if the assassin has left any clue. "
Liu Wenan bowed his head and said yes. Then Yun Shang waved her hand and said, "You can leave
now."
Liu Wenan and Luo Yi left.
Yun Shang entered the inner hall, looking a little tired. "Everything is as your majesty expected."
Luo Qingyan nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "It seems that the Vice Minister of Works is
not on the same boat with them. Unfortunately... "
Yun Shang was also speechless. Her throat was so dry and she also didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Luo Qingyan continued, "According to the current signs, they poisoner is expecting
me to die two days later, which is exactly your birthday. It seems that they are going to make a big
noise in two days... "
Yun Shang nodded. She had expected this before.
At that time, when something happened to Luo Qingyan, she would be helpless, and they would spread
the rumors that Chengye was an idiot and she was infertile, which would be convenient for them to
drag her to hell.
Yun Shang pursed her lips. Although she had a preliminary plan to deal with what would happen two
days later, she knew It wouldn't be easy for her in the next two days as so many things had happened
in just one day after Luo Qingyan was poisoned. There were still two days left before her birthday.
Yun Shang kept stroking the embroidered lines on the handkerchief in her hand, calculating in her
mind...
